Description

This unit comprises two performance orientated modules: dance and football. The dance module is designed to expose students to a variety of different dance styles. It is mainly a practical unit with emphasis being placed on individual and group performance, and analysis of techniques. The football module will focus on the development of personal skill, the understanding of strategy and tactics and knowledge of the playing rules.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must pass 1 unit from EBH1102

Equivalent Rule

Unit was previously coded SPS3216

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Analyse the skills associated with sound techniques in football performance.
  2. Apply basic strategies and tactics appropriate to the game.
  3. Choreograph and perform dance sequences. On completion of the football module students should be able to:
  4. Demonstrate a sound knowledge of the playing rules.
  5. Demonstrate a sound level of performance.
  6. Demonstrate an understanding of skill acquisition and psycho-social principles related to the performance of dance techniques.
  7. Identify and analyse the main biomechanical, skill acquisition and psycho-socialprinciples that are involved in the game.
  8. Organise practice routines for the development of football skills.
  9. Perform with competence, several dance styles demonstrating specific elements of dance.

Unit Content

  1. A knowledge of the playing rules and strategies of football.
  2. Abstraction extraction of movement potential from every-day actions. Each area will include time for examples and experimentation, followed by refinement into a sequence for presentation.
  3. An ability to analyse biomechanical techniques for the purpose of effective teaching and coaching.
  4. Dance in the forms of Creative, Contemporary, Jazz and Ballroom will be explored through the following areas:
  5. Effort adaptation of strength and flow to produce qualities of movement.
  6. Football : The development of individual and team skills in playing football.
  7. Practical sessions which enable students to plan training routines in a sound logical manner.
  8. Shape experimentation with body shape to produce visually interesting form.
  9. Space an examination of floor patterns and its application to design.

Additional Learning Experience Information

The unit will be largely practical in nature with supporting theory sessions as appropriate. Each module comprises two hours per week with the unit totaling four hours per week.
